Džúó mudžin no Fafnir

So there is a magical school, big CGI beasts threatening humanity, girls with special abilities and powers, and a single boy among them. To top it all off, a "transfer student" arrives and claims to be the main male protagonist's fiancée. There are just too many tropes in this show for my taste, so I was not so much into it. Moreover, there are badly designed dragons. For example, White Leviathan looked like a turtle and a narwhal mating product, so he looked more comical than scary to me. Plus, when I saw Basilisk with his "Catastrophe”, I had to laugh out loud. I thought Iris, Tear, and Mitsuki were good. The main male protagonist is quite bland, and the only thing I like about him is that he is nice to the girls. A certain part of me that likes cute anime girls would like to give this some nice ratings. However, all the other parts of my personality prevent it. My brain tells me something about the plot being superficial crap full of various tropes; my eyes tell me that the "dragons" are unwatchable, except maybe my ears are quite satisfied because the soundtrack is quite good. Furthermore, even pride is not going to let me give this show more than a better two stars this time. However, I must also add that I will watch the next season if it comes out because the other part of me wants to know how it turns out with the cute Tear and some other equally cute girls.
